Ok, boys and girls, time for a poll. What's the most expensive shaving-related item you've ever purchased (or received as a gift)? Mine would have to be the $128 Kent BK8. Anyone? Anyone?
Bought for myself $765 7/8 Maestro Livi straight (worth every penny) Gift from my girlfriend 7/8 TI Damascus, not quite sure how much she payed, but I've seen it on various websites so I have a rough idea. For me the individual items aren't so scary, however, if I was to add up the cost of all the razors, soaps, creams, balms, blades and other sundries I'd probably die of shock Regards, Alex
1) Feather AC DX Special $250 2) Simpson’s Tulip 2 Super $200 3) The 1968 Wilkinson Sword Razor $133.
I forgot about my Sticky. That's the most expensive DE I bought. I got mine for a little over $200, which was the most a Sticky went for, apart from the one Richard sold which included the original box and paperwork(mine was mint with the case but didn't have a booklet.) I probably should have waited for the inevitable price drop, but at the time I said the next Sticky would be mine so I didn't want to risk losing face Regards, Alex
$121 - B&B Horn Super Finest. But (let's all join in now as we contemplate our highest purchases) worth every penny!
I think my most expensive purchases (of specific items) have been on brushes. However, I have spent several hundreds at a time buying multiple things at once. In total, I believe I've spent >= $2,500 on shaving accoutrement(s?) --> Here's an idea: start a "real" poll for total dollars spent on this habit/addiction. <--
$240 (I think) on the B&B razor/brush set. It was more expensive for me as I had to pay an extra 17.5% VAT. I am too scared to add up the value of my other stuff. I have a 4 drawer divan bed.....and 2 of them are taken up with soaps and creams and blades and.........
TESC B&B Ebony Silvertip Finest Brush. $110 I lump shaving stuff into household expenses. I shudder to think what it would be like if I separated them out.
